I don't see galleries of page numbers, headers and footers, cover pages, or equations

Symptoms

You don't see items listed in any of the following galleries: page numbers, headers, footers, cover pages, equations, tables styles, text boxes, watermarks, or bibliographies — or you cannot open the building blocks template (Building Blocks.dotx).

Cause

The building blocks may be unavailable because of a corrupted building blocks template.

Resolution

The first step in recovering the building blocks template is to turn it on in the Word Options dialog box. This might not recover the template, especially if you upgraded to Microsoft Office Word 2007 from a pre-release version. If turning on the template does not recover the template, try generating a new user copy of the template, and if the template is still not recovered, try generating a new program copy of the template.

Generate a new program copy of the building blocks template

Exit Office Word 2007.

Find the Building Blocks.dotx template, which by default is located in the following folder: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Document Parts\locale folder, where locale folder is a number, such as 1033 for English U.S.

Rename the Building Blocks.dotx template to Building Blocks.old.

Do one of the following:

In Windows Vista, click the Start button
, click Control Panel, click Programs, and then click Uninstall a program.

In Microsoft Windows XP, on the Start menu, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.

Click Microsoft Office Word 2007 or the installed edition of the 2007 Microsoft Office system, and then click Change.

In the 2007 Office Setup program, click Repair, and then click Continue.

Restart Word 2007 and click a gallery, such as the headers gallery, to view the building blocks.
